I was never known to scheme or to be an overachiever
Or a dreamer making parapets up in the stratosphere
I took it leisurely, even easily, I couldn't see
Beyond the blocking and receiving, didn't need to be a diva
But I've seen things, clean changed up, I'm on a heater
I won't beat around the bush, I'm on the scene and feeling eager
For my team and I'll be damned if I don't seem like a believer
There's a demon in me now, you'll soon be fearing Tsukishima


Take a boy, put him in a uniform once
And leave him in games, cuz he's good at using a hunch
He's a natural, animal, consuming the runts
But he's spread thin, worrying on too many fronts

Watch him as he wastes his abilities daily
Too afraid of looking silly, taking ridicule, failing
Tryna coast through an ocean with minimal sailing
Till he's washed up, average, and considering bailing

I've been cold and apathetic from my time as a child
Never tryna get wild, just kinda flying in style
But mild-mannered, and barely ever shining a smile
Or reaching 'cross aisles, falling prey to feminine wiles

Contrary to what you may have come to expect
I'm looking wary, avoiding ever making a spectacle
Or daring to put it on the line and get checked
I'm getting carried, I bet, but I'm protecting my neck



Had my setbacks, they've been mostly in my own mind
Had to get facts, I've been sitting on a gold mine
Hit the attack, till I know it to the cosine
Now I'm dead accurate, I can hold the row blind

From the front row, I'll be staring em down
Wearing em out, drown foes, Goldeen on a clown
I'm holding down the fort, yeah I care and I'm proud
Cuz I wanna see my whole team wearing the crown

I've been apathetic too long, I hate to grow roots
Cuz I'm afraid of breaking barriers or taking abuse
But you spoke to me, I was so mistaken, obtuse
And now I got the fervor to make em shake in their boots

Yamaguchi, guchi, no I never had a friend like you
Sushi, sushi, on a roll like I would never do
Do we, do we make a pair, if it's true
Then it's fair to assume that I'll be there to keep defending you


I was never known to scheme or to be an overachiever
Or a dreamer making parapets up in the stratosphere
I took it leisurely, even easily, I couldn't see
Beyond the blocking and receiving, didn't need to be a diva
But I've seen things, clean changed up, I'm on a heater
I won't beat around the bush, I'm on the scene and feeling eager
For my team and I'll be damned if I don't seem like a believer
There's a demon in me now, you'll soon be fearing Tsukishima
